"Not what you see in the pictures."

Overall Score2.0/5

I don't understand how the pictures they show you on the website actually make it look like the hotel is beachfront, they fooled us pretty good because we were not expecting to have the ocean across the street. It was definitely disappointing. The ladies at the front desk were very nice and helpful, but can't say the same for the rest of the place. I had to make sure to write down everything that was wrong with it when we first went into the unit and dropped it at the front desk just in case we could be blamed for it. Among some of the things was a broken sofa bed frame which made my daughter sink into a hole while sleeping, black marker writing on the cushions, metal soap dish detached from the wall in the shower with rusted screws and holes exposed, carped heavily stained, kitchen faucet needs to be replaced and the worst thing was the issue with the elevators taking forever. We spent around 25 minutes waiting with 10 to 12 other people from that particular floor trying to leave the morning that we checked out. The pool looks very nice in the pictures but once there, the water was so murky and it was so crowded that we decided not to use it. With no beach easily accessible and no pool, we spent a lot of time watching TV. Based on that, I don't think I could recommend this hotel.
